Description

The present invention relates to a cleaning device including a drug bottle in which a predetermined amount of drug is stored, and when a drug is insufficient, the drug is replenished by exchanging the drug bottle.

As a cleaning device installed in a medical facility or the like for cleaning medical equipment and the like, a washer-disinfector, a jet washer, a bed pan washer and the like are known.

Medical devices are made of various materials such as stainless steel, aluminum, titanium, synthetic resin, and glass, and the stains adhering to them are derived from various components such as proteins and lipids. On the other hand, for example, an enzyme cleaning agent is particularly suitable for removing proteins, and an alkaline cleaning agent is particularly suitable for removing lipids, while aluminum is generally alkaline because it may corrode under alkaline conditions. There are chemicals that are suitable and incompatible with materials and stains, such as unsuitable cleaning agents. In addition, some materials, such as metal, should be treated with a rust inhibitor after cleaning. In addition, each of these agents has a different optimum temperature.

Therefore, the above-mentioned cleaning device is usually provided with a plurality of drug bottles and is configured to be washable by a plurality of types of chemicals, and for example, a plurality of cleaning programs having different chemicals to be used and operating temperatures can be set. (Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2018-126686). According to this configuration, a cleaning program can be set in advance according to the material, the type of dirt, and the like, and reliable cleaning can be performed by selecting an appropriate cleaning program according to each object to be cleaned. As a result, it is possible to prevent infection through medical equipment and to ensure medical safety.

JP-A-2018-126686

In such a cleaning device, when the drug in the drug bottle is insufficient, the drug is replenished by replacing the drug bottle with a new drug bottle. In the conventional cleaning device, when the medicine in the medicine bottle is insufficient, it is only notified that the medicine is insufficient in one of the medicine bottles. Therefore, not only the drug bottle lacking the drug but also the drug bottle containing the usable amount of the drug may be mistakenly replaced.

Not only that, there is a risk of being replaced with a drug bottle that stores a different type of drug from the deficient drug, that is, a different type of drug from the deficient drug may be replenished, even in such cases. The cleaning program could be executed as it was. Therefore, as a result of erroneous injection of such chemicals, there is a possibility that an inappropriate type of chemicals may be used for the object to be cleaned, or the chemicals may be used at an inappropriate temperature, resulting in deterioration or deterioration of the object to be cleaned. There was a risk of damage and poor cleaning.

Furthermore, the cleaning device itself may deteriorate due to the use of chemicals that have not been confirmed to be compatible with the cleaning device, or the device being operated without the prescribed amount of chemicals being replenished immediately. There was a risk of failure.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is possible to prevent replenishment of a different type of drug from the deficient drug, and deterioration, damage and cleaning of the object to be cleaned due to improper use or use of the drug. It is an object of the present invention to provide a cleaning device capable of preventing defects, deterioration and failure of the cleaning device.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems by means of a solution as described below as an embodiment.

The cleaning apparatus according to the present invention includes a plurality of drug bottles each having a recording unit in which the type of stored drug is recorded, a drug bottle installation unit in which the plurality of drug bottles are installed, and a drug bottle installation unit. The storage unit that stores the position of the drug in association with the type of the drug in the drug bottle installed at the position, and the type of drug stored in the position of the drug bottle that was exchanged when the drug bottle was replaced. Control to notify that drug replenishment is completed when one of them matches the type of drug read from the recording unit of the replaced drug bottle, and to notify the mismatch when there is a mismatch. It is a requirement to have a department.

According to this, it can be confirmed that the same kind of medicine as the medicine to be replenished is surely replenished at each position in the preset medicine bottle installation part. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the supplementation of a different type of drug from the deficient drug.

Further, it is preferable that a liquid level sensor for detecting the liquid level of the drug in each drug bottle is provided, and the control unit recognizes the position in the drug bottle installation unit separately from the liquid level sensor. According to this, the position in the medicine bottle installation part and the medicine bottle installed at the position can be associated and stored.

Further, when the control unit does not match one of the types of drugs stored in the position of the exchanged drug bottle with the type of the drug read from the recording unit of the exchanged drug bottle. It is preferable to perform control so as not to start the washing operation because the drug replenishment is incomplete. According to this, even if a chemical is erroneously charged (wrong replenishment) or other chemicals whose compatibility with the cleaning device has not been confirmed are charged, the cleaning operation is not started in that state. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the use of an inappropriate type of chemicals for the object to be cleaned or the use of chemicals at an inappropriate temperature, and prevent deterioration and damage of the object to be cleaned and poor cleaning. can do.

According to the present invention, it is possible to prevent replenishment of a different type of drug from the deficient drug, and deterioration, damage and poor cleaning of the object to be cleaned due to the use of an inappropriate drug. Furthermore, it becomes possible to prevent deterioration and failure of the cleaning device.

The cleaning tank 12 is configured so that the object to be cleaned can be taken in and out, and the object to be cleaned is generally placed in a plurality of racks (not shown) and housed in the cleaning tank 12 together with the rack.

Inside the cleaning tank 12, one or a plurality of injection nozzles 14 (one at the top and one at the bottom in the present embodiment) are provided, and as will be described later, the cleaning liquid, the rinsing liquid, hot water, etc. are injected from the injection nozzles 14 to be covered. It is a mechanism to wash, rinse, disinfect, etc. the washed items. In addition to this, the injection nozzle 14 may be attached to the rack. In this case, it is common that a part of the rack formed in a grid pattern is composed of a pipe, and the cleaning liquid or the like is passed through the pipe to inject the cleaning liquid or the like from the injection nozzle 14.

Further, the bottom surface 12a in the cleaning tank 12 is formed on an inclined surface as an example, and a concave portion 16 is formed at the lowest portion of the inclined surface so as to be recessed downward and to store the cleaning liquid and the like in the cleaning tank 12. There is. A heater 18 is provided in the recess 16 so that the cleaning liquid or the like in the cleaning tank 12 can be heated.

Further, a drain pipe 20 is provided on the bottom surface of the recess 16, and the liquid in the cleaning tank 12 can be discharged and stored by opening and closing the valve 22. On the other hand, a flow pipe 24 is provided above the portion where the drain pipe 20 is provided. The flow pipe 24 is connected to the injection nozzle 14 in the cleaning tank 12 via the pipe 26, and the liquid in the cleaning tank 12 can be injected from each injection nozzle 14 by the operation of the liquid feed pump 28. In the case where the injection nozzle 14 is also attached to the rack, when the rack is housed in the cleaning tank 12, the pipe 26 and the pipes constituting the rack are connected, whereby the liquid in the cleaning tank 12 is discharged from the pipe 26. Generally, the structure is such that it can flow through the pipe and can be injected from the injection nozzle 14.

Further, a water supply pipe 30 for introducing water from the outside (water supply source) is connected to the washing tank 12. Further, a chemical supply pipe 32 for introducing chemicals (cleaning agent, rust preventive, etc.) from the outside (each chemical bottle 34) is connected to the cleaning tank 12. Specifically, one end 32a of each drug supply pipe 32 is inserted into another drug bottle 34, and the other end 32b is connected to the cleaning tank 12. The configuration of the drug bottle 34 will be described later. The introduction of water and chemicals can be adjusted by opening and closing the valve 22 of the water supply pipe 30 and by operating the liquid feed pump 28 of the chemical supply pipe 32. In addition to these, a hot water supply pipe (not shown) for introducing hot water may be provided.

Further, the washing tank 12 is provided with a drying mechanism (not shown) so that the inside of the washing tank 12 can be dried. Further, a temperature sensor and a liquid level sensor (neither of which is shown) are provided so that the temperature and the liquid level in the cleaning tank 12 can be detected. Further, in addition to these, an ultrasonic generator (not shown) may be provided on the bottom surface 12a or the like to add an ultrasonic cleaning function. In addition to those shown in FIG. 1, valves, strainers, and the like are provided in appropriate places in each configuration through which a liquid or gas flows in the cleaning device 10.

According to the above configuration, water and a cleaning agent are introduced into the cleaning tank 12 in which the object to be cleaned is housed, and the cleaning liquid which is mixed and diluted in the cleaning tank 12 and heated to a predetermined temperature is passed through the flow pipe 24. By circulating inside and outside the cleaning tank 12 via the injection nozzle 14, the injection nozzle 14 can continuously inject water. Thereby, the object to be cleaned can be washed. Further, the object to be cleaned can be rinsed, disinfected with hot water, rust-preventive treatment and the like in the same manner, and then dried in the cleaning tank 12.

The above operation is controlled by the control unit 42. The control unit 42 is composed of a CPU and a memory, and operates based on a preset operation program and a setting signal input from the operation unit 44. Specifically, in response to signals from the temperature sensor and liquid level sensor provided in the cleaning tank 12, the operation of the valve 22 (including a valve (not shown), the liquid feed pump 28, the heater 18, and the drying mechanism is performed. By controlling, each process is executed according to a preset operation program (cleaning program).

In this embodiment, the cleaning program can be set and changed by the user. That is, the drug (drug bottle 34) used in the predetermined process, the operating temperature, and the like can be set by the operation of the operation unit 44, and one or more cleaning programs set by the operation are stored in the storage unit 48. There is. Then, when the user selects a predetermined cleaning program by operating the operation unit 44 before cleaning, the control unit 42 that receives the operation signal reads out and executes the cleaning program stored in the storage unit 48. ..

Subsequently, the configuration of the drug bottle 34 will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the cleaning device 10 includes a drug bottle installation unit 36, and a plurality of (five in this embodiment) drug bottles 34 are installed (accommodated) in the cleaning device 10. Chemicals such as a cleaning agent and a rust preventive are stored in each chemical bottle 34. The type of the drug in each drug bottle 34 is not limited, and may be different or the same among the drug bottles 34. In the present embodiment, as an example, of the five drug bottles 34, two are stored with an alkaline cleaning agent, two with an enzyme cleaning agent, and one with a rust preventive (see FIGS. 2 and 4). .. When the medicines in these medicine bottles 34 are insufficient, the medicines are replenished by replacing the medicine bottles 34 with new medicine bottles.

Further, each drug bottle 34 is provided with a recording unit 38 in which at least the type of drug is recorded. As a result, the control unit 42 can recognize the type of the drug stored in the drug bottle 34. More specifically, by reading the record of the recording unit 38 by the reading means 40 and sending a recording signal to the control unit 42, the control unit 42 that receives the signal recognizes the type of the drug stored in the drug bottle 34. It is possible to do. The configuration of the recording unit 38 is not limited, but may be, for example, a code such as a number, a character, a symbol, a figure (for example, a bar code), or a recording or storage medium such as an RF tag. In particular, an international standard product identification code such as GTIN (JAN code) is provided in many products and is suitable as a recording unit 38. Further, the configuration of the reading means 40 for this may be appropriately configured according to the recording unit 38 such as a bar code reader or a reader / writer.

Further, the communication between the reading means 40 and the control unit 42 may be either wired or wireless means. Therefore, the reading means 40 may be arranged by being connected to the cleaning device 10 (control unit 42), or may be arranged independently as a portable device or the like.

Specifically, in the configuration in which the reading means 40 is connected to the cleaning device 10 (control unit 42) and arranged, the reading means 40 may be movable to a predetermined range or may be fixed. At this time, when the reading means 40 is a barcode reader, one of the drug bottle 34 or the reading means 40 may be held over the other to read. Further, the reading means 40 may be arranged at a position facing the recording unit 38 of each drug bottle 34 with the drug bottle 34 installed in the drug bottle installation unit 36. In this configuration, when the reading means 40 is a barcode reader, the medicine bottle 34 and the reading means 40 can be read without moving the medicine bottle 34 in the state where the medicine bottle 34 is installed in the medicine bottle installation unit 36. On the other hand, in the configuration in which the reading means 40 is arranged independently of the cleaning device 10, the reading means 40 may be a portable dedicated device or the like, or the reading function may be provided to other articles such as a portable computer or a telephone. In addition, the reading means 40 may be used.

Further, one end 32a of the drug supply pipe 32 is inserted into each drug bottle 34, and is inserted into the drug. A liquid level sensor 50 for detecting the liquid level of the drug in the drug bottle 34 is provided at each end 32a. Thereby, the filling and deficiency of the medicine in the medicine bottle 34 can be detected. The configuration of the liquid level sensor 50 is not limited, but for example, a known float switch or the like may be used. In this case, for example, when the drug is sufficient, the float switch ON signal is transmitted to the control unit 42, and when the drug is insufficient, the float switch is turned off and the float switch ON signal is stopped.

Here, in the present embodiment, the control unit 42 recognizes the position in the drug bottle installation unit 36 according to the liquid level sensor 50. According to this configuration, for each position of the drug bottle installation unit 36 (separate from the liquid level sensor 50), the drug bottle 34 installed at that position (a specific drug bottle corresponding to the specific liquid level sensor 50) It can be associated and stored (as 34). Then, these drug bottles 34 are configured to be recognizable according to the type of drug, and specifically, the drug is read by the reading means 40 by the method of reading the type of the drug in the drug bottle 34, or from the operation unit 44 (for example, the numeric keypad). The type of the drug in the drug bottle 34 can be recognized by the control unit 42 by a method of directly inputting a number or the like for identifying the type of the drug. As a result, in the cleaning device 10, the type of the drug in the drug bottle 34 installed at each position in the drug bottle installation unit 36 is set (hereinafter referred to as “drug registration”) and stored in the storage unit 48. Can be done. The number of types of drugs that can be set (drug registration) at each position is not limited, and in the case of this embodiment, two can be set (drug registration) at each position. FIG. 2 shows an example of a display (“drug registration screen”) displayed on the display unit 46 (here, the display screen 46) as an example when registering a drug.

The above-mentioned drug registration is usually performed at the start of use of the cleaning device 10 (at the time of installing the cleaning device 10), and one or more drugs (types of drugs) installed at each position are registered. The drug registration is a standard for judging the correctness of the drug to be supplemented as described later when the drug is supplemented, and should not be changed unnecessarily. Therefore, for example, it is preferable that the drug is appropriately managed as a configuration that requires input of a password when registering a drug or changing the drug.

Subsequently, the operation related to the replenishment of the medicine (replacement of the medicine bottle 34) of the cleaning device 10 according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an operation example relating to the replenishment of the chemicals in the cleaning device 10. Further, FIG. 4 is an example of a “drug replenishment screen” on the display unit. Further, FIG. 5 is an example of a “drug replenishment history screen” on the display unit.

In the present embodiment, the configuration of the display unit 46 relating to drug replenishment is used as an example of the display screen 46, and the configuration of the operation unit 44 relating to drug replenishment is used as an example of the touch panel 44 displayed on the display screen 46. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the operation unit 44 may be configured independently of the display unit 46. Further, in the present embodiment, the configuration of the notification unit 52 regarding the replenishment of the drug is the display on the display unit 46 (specifically, the display screen 46) and the guidance voice. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, a buzzer, a lamp, or the like may be used.

Hereinafter, description will be given with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, when the drug in the drug bottle 34 is insufficient (S100), a drug shortage signal (for example, float switch OFF) is sent from the liquid level sensor 50 to the control unit 42 (S102). Upon receiving this, the control unit 42 immediately or further satisfies a predetermined condition (for example, continuous operation of the liquid feed pump 28 provided in the drug supply pipe 32 having the liquid level sensor 50 for a certain period of time), and the drug is insufficient. (Short recognition signal ON) (S104), and control is performed to notify the notification unit 52. At this time, the control unit 42 stores the position in the drug bottle installation unit 36 that recognizes the drug shortage in a memory or the like.

In the present embodiment, a "drug deficiency screen" indicating that the drug deficiency has been recognized is displayed on the display screen 46, and a voice to that effect is emitted. On the other hand, when the user operates the touch panel 44 according to the instruction of the "drug shortage screen", the "drug replenishment screen" illustrated in FIG. 4 is displayed.

On the "drug replenishment screen", the position of the shortage recognition signal ON stored by the control unit 42 is displayed, and the instruction to replace the drug bottle 34 is displayed. Further, when the "drug replenishment screen" is displayed, a voice instructing the replacement of the drug bottle 34 is emitted. Both the display of the "drug shortage screen" and the "drug replenishment screen" and the guidance voice are performed by the control of the control unit 42.

The user who receives the instruction then replaces the drug bottle 34 (S106). At this time, if a drug shortage occurs in a plurality of drug bottles 34, one of the drug bottles 34 is replaced. In the conventional cleaning device 10, it is only notified that the drug is insufficient in any of the drug bottles 34. Therefore, for example, not only the drug bottle 34 that is actually deficient in the drug but also the drug bottle 34 in which the usable amount of the drug remains may be mistakenly replaced, and the drug may be wasted. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the position where the control unit 42 stores the drug shortage (the position where the shortage recognition signal is ON) is displayed on the “drug replenishment screen”, so that the user can use the drug bottle at that position. By replacing 34, unnecessary replacement can be prevented.

When the user replaces the drug bottle 34 and inserts one end 32a of the drug supply pipe 32 into the new drug bottle 34, the drug deficiency signal (for example, the float switch OFF) in the liquid level sensor 50 becomes the drug sufficiency signal (for example). The float switch is turned on) and sent to the control unit 42 (S108). In response to this, the control unit 42 operates the position (arrow A in FIG. 4) in which the drug sufficiency signal (for example, the float switch is ON) is received among the positions where the deficiency recognition signal is ON displayed on the “drug replenishment screen”. Control is performed so that the selection can be made from the unit 44 (touch panel 44) (S110). Then, as a result of controlling the notification unit 52 to notify the fact, a voice is emitted to the effect that the position for performing the drug determination (correct / incorrect determination of the type of the drug to be supplemented) is selected and the recording unit 38 is instructed to read the record. Be done.

Next, the user who received the instruction selects the position where the drug determination is performed (arrow A in FIG. 4), and the recording unit 38 of the new drug bottle 34 installed (replaced) at the selected position using the reading means 40. Read the record (S112, S116). The arrow A in FIG. 4 indicates a state in which the position for determining the drug is selected by the user on the “drug replenishment screen”.

Here, when the user selects a position for determining the drug (S112), the control unit 42 that receives the selected position recognizes the selected position as the position of the replaced drug bottle 34. That is, the selected position is determined as the control position in the drug determination, and the type of the drug set (drug registration) at the control position is read out from the storage unit 48 (S114).

That is, in the drug determination, only the position where the drug deficiency is first recognized and then the drug sufficiency is recognized (the position where the deficiency recognition signal is ON and the drug sufficiency signal is ON) is controllably controllable from the operation unit 44. To. Then, after the user confirms that the position is the position where the drug bottle 34 is actually replaced, the position is selected from the operation unit 44, and the control unit 42 exchanges the position only after receiving this. Recognize the position of the drug bottle 34. Therefore, it is possible to accurately determine the position of the replaced drug bottle 34 by performing a double inspection by the control unit 42 and the user, and it is read from the recording unit 38 of the replaced drug bottle 34. Can be collated with records.

Then, when the user reads the record of the recording unit 38 by the reading means (S116), the control unit 42 that receives this reads the drug determination (S118). In the case of a configuration in which the drug bottle 34 and the reading means 40 can be read without moving, for example, the control unit 42 that has received a position selection by the user may receive a recording signal from the reading means 40. Then, the control unit 42 includes one of the types of the drug set at the position (control position) of the replaced drug bottle 34 and the type of the drug read from the recording unit 38 of the replaced drug bottle 34. Judges whether or not matches with. As a result, if they match, it is determined that the type of the drug to be replenished is correct, the recognition of the drug shortage is canceled (the shortage recognition signal is turned off) (S120), and the notification unit 52 notifies that the drug replenishment is completed. (S122).

In the present embodiment, the OK display (arrow B in FIG. 4) lights up on the drug at the position where the drug determination is performed on the “drug replenishment screen”, and then the “drug replenishment completion screen” is displayed. Then, a voice indicating that the drug replenishment is completed is emitted. These are all examples of notification of completion of drug supplementation (S122).

When a drug shortage occurs in a plurality of drug bottles 34, the OK display lights up for the drug at the position where the drug determination is performed on the "drug replenishment screen", but the transition to the "drug replenishment completion screen" is displayed. Instead, the "drug replenishment screen" is displayed continuously. On the other hand, the user sequentially replaces the drug bottles 34 and determines the drug one by one by the same procedure for the remaining drug bottles 34 in which the drug shortage has occurred (S124). Then, when all the drug replenishment determinations are completed, the "drug replenishment completion screen" is displayed, and a voice indicating that the drug replenishment is completed is emitted.

On the other hand, if there is a discrepancy as a result of the drug determination, the control unit 42 does not cancel the recognition of the drug deficiency because it is not confirmed that the type of the drug to be supplemented is correct (the deficiency recognition signal is not turned off but remains ON). , Control is performed to notify the notification unit 52 of the mismatch (S222).

In the present embodiment, the NG display (arrow C in FIG. 4) lights up on the drug at the position where the drug determination is performed on the “drug replenishment screen”, and a voice is emitted to instruct the reading of the record of the recording unit 38 again. These are all examples of mismatch notification (S222). In this operation, one of the types of drugs set (drug registration) at the position of the exchanged drug bottle 34 matches the type of drug read from the recording unit 38 of the exchanged drug bottle 34. It is repeated until it is done. Therefore, the user can recognize, for example, that the drug bottle 34 other than the drug bottle 34 to be replenished has been replaced, and in this case, the drug bottle 34 to be replenished can be replaced again (S224). ).

By the above operation, when replenishing the drug (replacement of the drug bottle 34), it is possible to reliably replenish the drug of the same type as the drug set at the position of the drug bottle 34 to be replaced. Here, even if a drug is erroneously charged (wrong replenishment) or an unset drug whose compatibility with the cleaning device 10 has not been confirmed is charged, the drug replenishment is not completed, so that the cleaning operation cannot be started. Further, when the control unit 42 recognizes the drug shortage, the user is guided to the drug determination by a series of operations, so that the cleaning device 10 is prevented from being operated without the drug reaching the specified amount. Therefore, it is possible to prevent deterioration, breakage and cleaning failure of the object to be cleaned due to the use of an inappropriate chemical, and it is possible to prevent deterioration and failure of the cleaning device 10.

Further, as an arbitrary operation, the control unit 42 confirms that the type of the drug to be replenished is correct, and the drug read from the recording unit 38 when the record is read from the recording unit 38 or when the drug replenishment is completed. Control is performed to store the type and other information in the storage unit 48 together with information such as the exchanged position and date and time. This record (memory) is controlled so as to be displayed on the “drug replenishment history screen” or the like illustrated in FIG. 5 by the operation of the operation unit 44, and is configured so that the user can confirm it. As a result, the frequency of drug replacement can be confirmed, and the surplus inventory can be reduced to reduce the cost. Further, if there is a problem with the device such as clogging of the drug supply pipe 32, it becomes possible to detect this.

As described above, according to the cleaning device according to the present invention, when replenishing a drug, it is possible to reliably replenish the same type of drug as the drug set at the position of the drug bottle to be replaced. Therefore, it is possible to prevent erroneous injection of a drug or injection of a drug whose compatibility has not been confirmed. As a result, it is possible to prevent the use of inappropriate chemicals, prevent deterioration, breakage, and poor cleaning of the object to be cleaned, and prevent deterioration and failure of the cleaning device.

The present invention is not limited to the examples described above, and various modifications can be made without departing from the present invention. Although the present embodiment is a cleaning device including a plurality of drug bottles, the present invention is naturally applicable to a cleaning device including one drug bottle.
